Beginning of us

29. Because I want to talk to you.

Happy Valentine's day to y'all❤️🍫🌹✨

Anniella's POV

I'm a big liar if I say I'm not relieved. I feel like a big burden in my life has been lifted off me. Izzy and I are walking to the car park after lectures. We're as happy as ever, "so how are you going to spend your summer holidays?"

Do I have anywhere going aside being at home? I wanted to spend my summer break with Drey when we were together but now that we're over and done with, I guess I'll stay at home all day long. "I want to visit my parents in Ghana but if I don't I'll be home through out."

"What about El and Chloe?"

"They were making plans, maybe I'll join them or I'll pass if I don't go to Ghana."I shrugged my shoulders, I miss my parents and I want to see them but they told me they are away on a trip. It has made me uncertain on how my holidays will be like.

"Hola me if you pass, I want you to come with me to Santorini. It's going to be hella fun!" Izzy exclaimed like a girl who's finally been noticed my her crush.

"I'll keep that in mind." I said to her, unlocking my phone to order an Uber. I really want to get home and get out of these clothes, the jeans is making me itchy. The Uber said the driver is right here in the car park, I thank God though it's a little weird. Most of the students here have their own cars and only a few people like me use Uber.

It's a first time I've seen an Uber right here in the university premises. "I'll make sure to call you if I have change of plans, be good and keep everything censored." I winked at a blushing Izzy.

She and Lawrence are so serious, they're on the road to marriage as I speak. El and Chloe too are doing pretty good in their relationships. I'm the only one left who's booless, not that I mind but I mostly feel like a third wheel when we go out to eat at restaurants or to the movies.

I sigh and get into the Uber. I look out of the window, watching some of the students bidding goodbyes to their friends and some being lovey dovey with their partners.

I painfully tear my eyes away and look on my phone typing a text to Nessa.
Me

Bezz is typing.....

The driver isn't taking the steet to my house, he has actually steered the car onto the road leading out of Montclair. Is he a kidnapper or a serial killer, if I do make it out of her alive, I'm never taking an Uber again. "Excuse me Sir, that's not the way to my destination." I master all the courage I can to yell at him. My heart is beating so fast I can even hear it.

"Don't worry babe, I got you." The driver said cool. My heart skips a beat. It can't be.

Huh Babe? There's only one person who calls me by that name and the last time I checked him and I were done with. It can't be Drey, he's probably in a multi million dolar deal right now at his office. But the voice is that of him. "STOP THE CAR!"
